Another forum is reporting that this will be the DOTD at Best Buy on Monday for $39.99. Hopefully Amazon will match.

Or is there any chance Amazon will match BB's BF prices at a predetermined time?

Does camelcamelcamel scan Amazon often enough to catch price changes within a few minutes if I set up alerts? Probably not.

On what web site/URL do you check those? Not here because I don't think there's enough traffic? Surely you can't be searching everything on Amazon periodically. The only way I know is to check the headlines in Blu-Ray dot com or Slickdeals dot net.

In fact, I use it year-round and it is also how lizard compiles his list of low prices, I believe.

Very weak sauce... Not one thing appeals to me on that list except, perhaps Ken Burns: Prohibition. Most of it is probably slow-moving backstock, except the occasional bone thrown in (eg, BRAVE). Seems to be mostly TV stuff... Still, all of it'll probablly sell out within seconds.

I know that last year Amazon did random/surprise PMs, but I seem to remember that they also added a few things to the schedule as the week went on, didn't they?

They did. I recall the calendar showing dvd versions of movies/shows and then the BD showing up on the calendar later. Hopefully the same happens this year.

Note the average is even cheaper when you order special features of the month. This month's feature for me was: Santa Paw's 2/Prep & Landing/Tigger Movie all for $43.95 shipped.

I was wondering the same. Seems that the section is hidden on amazon but the op found it or got the link somewhere else and posted it here.

Nice price on true blood s4. Hope other seasons go on sale, too.
Safe to say Thor and Capt. America on sale all day on Thurs or Fri?

I don't often go in for double-dips just for the sake of BD upgrade, but the Sherlock Holmes collection is a steal at the price.
